Abstract: A computational model that accounts for blood–tissue interaction under physiological flow conditions was developed and applied to a thin-walled model of the left heart. This model consisted of ...

Abstract: Aided by advancements in computer speed and modeling techniques, computational modeling of cardiac function has continued to develop over the past twenty years. The goal of the current study ...

Abstract: Systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve leaflets (SAM) is a disease of the left ventricle which results from an abnormal force balance on the mitral valve. The mechanism by which is ...

Abstract: A numerical study was conducted to solve the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for time-dependent flow in a compliant thin-walled, anatomically correct left ventricle during early systole. ...
